Today we drove up the lake to Beacon Bay Marina in Cayuga to sign the contact for our winter storage. The marina is located at the top of the lake, by staying on the lake we won't have to worry about the Erie Canal schedule or closures. At the moment we are planning to put the boat up the first week in October.

The long building on the left side of the picture is used for inside storage. They don't have enough room for us. We'll be outside.

After taking care of boat business we drove over to Seneca Lake to have lunch at Ginny Lee Café. It's located on the grounds of Wagner Vineyards. Wagner Vineyards is one of the oldest and most recognized wineries in the Finger Lakes and has been one of the region’s most popular wine tasting destinations since 1979. The Ginny Lee Café opened in 1983 and offers diners the opportunity to enjoy a freshly prepared menu selections while overlooking one of the most spectacular views in the Finger Lakes region.   
This was our incredible view with lunch...hard to beat spending a few hours enjoying this view on such a beautiful day.

    1. It's always great to hear from followers. There are a lot of beautiful places to cruise on the east coast. We hope to get into the Georgian Bay and North Channel of Canadia one summer. Hold on to your dream.

    1. I hope are paths cross soon. We'd love to see your new home. We are planning to spend a month or so in the 1000 Islands next summer and some time on the western Erie. The remaining time we'll be here in Ithaca so we can visit with our little ones. We want to do the Georgian and and North Channel one day...maybe the following summer.

  3. Hard to believe you guys have been up there that long ... and that summer is ending. Sounds like you made a good decision for where to leave the boat. Maybe we'll catch up with you up there next summer, who knows? :)
